O, «K 2 Guess What’s New??? “Isn't that special and “That’s a novel idea were some of the expres- sions heard as the students returned from summer vacation. Of course also heard were the usual “I can't believe it's already time to come back to school and “I’m already sick of homework. Some of the new trends for the 1986- 87 school year were jogging pants worn with sweaters and dress shirts. Guess clothing, the game “two hits for flin- ching, rolling up jeans above the ankles, and drinking pop at noon after the pop machine was installed in the old concession stand. A new program set up this year was Jazz Band. Many of the band students took part. I ft: Workers hurry to put in the new windows in befo school starts.

Activities Division 5 Large Choir Vocalizes Spirit Fifty voices comprised the 9th through 12th graders in the Senior Choir, the largest at PFHS in 6 years. Although the schedule only allowed for alternating weeks of only 2 or 3 practices, the choir still manages to perform at 4 concerts, as well as the Large Group music contest. In addition, vocal music students who are especially interested in singing have several op- portunities to participate in select groups. Among these are District Honor Choir, Dorian Vocal Festival (at Luther College) and Small Group Music Contest. The Tapestry Singers arc a select group of 16 singers that perform 2 major concerts. The first is the traditional Holiday Dinner Concert perform- ed in December at the Branding Iron. The second is the •Pops' Concert held in May. At this concert the Tapestry Singers perform hits from yesteryear and today including choreography. Becoming a member of the Tapestry Singers requires talent, dedication and a willingness to rehearse at 7:30 a.m. TAPESTRY SINGERS (Above Right): Front Row — Danna Vaale- mocn. Shannon Speer.

Give My Regards to Broadway, combined the show tunes of George M. Cohan with a brand new story. Director Dick Foster was trying to put on a Broadway show. Unfortunate- ly, he has little money and several pro- blems with his famous leading lady, Mona Monroe. Enter Mary Collins, an aspiring actress, and “Legs Ruby, a bookie on the run from the mob. What followed was a hilarious, melodious, and romantic comedy that was a hit with the audience and the cast. 8 Spring Play FALL PLAY CAST (Top): Front Row — Bckah Benson. Stcph Derby.

The numerous high spirited laughs and the zany characters kept the audience laughing uproarious- ly. The play was loved by all who at- tended. The crowds' sizes in November during otherwise busy winter season demonstrated that. Near capacity crowds attended on both nights of the play. Fall Play 9 Guess Who’s in First Place? “Line was Prcston-Fountain Act Play en- trant. The play had many interesting characters such as Amall the wimp, Stephen the yuppie, Fleming the slob, Dolan the ex- ecutive, and Molly the pernicious wife. “Line is about five people waiting in line for something they do not know. But they all want to be the first in line, so they trick each other to try to be first. Two local perfor- mances were given in the high school gym- nasium on Thursday, January 22 to ap- preciate fans. Just two days later the sub- district festival was also held in the Preston- Fountain gymnasium where Preston earned a first place ranking and rave critiques. The following week on Saturday, Januai7 31 the play went into district competition at Rushford and won first place, edging out Houston’s “Wiley and the Hairy Man. The the dilemma began. Adrian Snyder, one of Preston’s leading men, had to be out of town the day of regional competition. Should Preston-Fountain forfeit, or try to find so- meone to fill in so the play could go on? After hours of deliberation and persuasion, Jason Huffman agreed to replace Adrian. With only 5 days of rehearsal before regional competition, he did an amazing job. At Region competition at Winona State University on February 7, Houston won the title and Preston-Fountain placed third in a mixed ballot by the judges.

This year in cheerleading many things changed. The most noticeable was that the varsity squad had purchased new uniforms over the summer the new uniforms made it cooler during the winter months when they had to be in the gym. Also there was a “B” squad. In the last few years few years the squad had been cut due to the money shortage, but his year added a bright touch. With the cheerleaders under a new advisor, Ramona Himli, the year turned out to be very successful. VOLLEYBALL CHEERLEADERS (RiRht): Front Ron — Rachel Grossman, Stephanie Derby. Mindy Bothun.

They made a victory train for both the boys’ and girls’ basketball teams in the central hallway. The train showed all of the wins for all of the squad. Although there were only 3 cheerleaders on the squad they seemed to get the crowed ready for the basketball games, and have a good year. Left: Even three can have some fun with their practice.

They studied various topics including electricity, landscaping and small engines. The students were active in various contests, attended conventions and developed leadership skills. The combining of the two school's programs seemed to be proving beneficial for both Preston- Fountain students and Lanesboro students. FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA (Above): Front Row — Stacy Finjerson.

Sparks Fly Through Busy Times “Youth Explosion, You’re the Spark,” was the theme of FHA for the 1986-87 school year. The chapter consisted of 12 members from grades 7-12. The goal of FH A is to en- courage youth to realize the importance of the individual and their impact by using their full potential to gain skills for tomor- row's world. On November 10, the district meeting was held in Grand Meadow with 8 local members attending. At this meeting money was collected to help support the women's shelter in Austin. The mid-winter meeting was held on March 16 in Lewiston. Over half of the members of the local chapter competed in the AAE (Action Ac- tivity Event) at the District Level in hopes of continuing on to compete at the State Level on April 30-May 2. One of the activities that was planned for the 1986-87 school year was FH A week. During this week, February 8-14, the students participated in a Treasure Hunt and also bought carnations for Valentine's Day. The FHA's project was working with the elderly in the nursing home. The FHA planned 3 fund raisers which included sell- ing candy bars, milk, and also T-shirts for the seniors in the spring. F.H.A. 15 When Is That Deadline Again??? The 1987 yearbook staff was so different then the staffs of previous years as the members were faced with typical problems of putting the yearbook together. One of the biggest problems was trying to meet deadlines when we had some problems get- ting pictures. Another was the inexperience of the staff and the teaching load of the ad- visor. As a result the December deadline was missed entirely, and all the pages (except the color) were submitted in March. The only way the March deadline was met was through the solid dedication of many hard- working staff members who put in long hours, even on Saturday. The Students of PFHS had the option of paying the S17.00 fee for the yearbook all at once or usine the installment payment plan. The yearbook was able to expand to 4 color pages which added a “touch of class. Right: Darla Milne and Kelly Walsh take a break from the duties of the yearbook.

Since the price of the Bluejay Bugle was fifty cents, the students were faced with the decision of whether to buy a Bugle or to buy a package of HoHos, and more often or not they choose the Bugle. The Bluejay Bugles were popular with the student body as they got to catch up on the juicy bits of gossip, find thins out about the mysterious senioirs in their in- terviews, read about movie reviews, spor- ting events, poems, quotes, and solve the puzzles. Those who don’t like to read can just look at the pictures. The Bugle covered a variety of topics in every issue to satisfy each and every stu- dent who had the good taste to invest in one. Under the expert advising of Mr. O'Reilly, the editing of Ruth Winslow and Gary Bumgarner, and the hard work of the staff the four issues were quite popular with the student of Preston- Fountain High School.

The cast was ex- panded for the first time to include eight cast members from the senior class. The greater number of participants allowed almost 30% of the seniors to get some on- the-air journalism experience. It also allowed some flexibility in preparing broadcasts and working around busy stu- dent schedules. Each week the newscasters reported on such things as sport events, plays, reviews of current movies and TV shows, and editorials on points of interest to the educational system and the com- munity. Each newcaster wrote his or her own reports. Preston Highlights was taped on Fridays after school and aired on K.FIL at 9:15 on Saturday mornings. RADIO SHOW CAST (Above): From Row — Paige Hovey.

The council decided to make their own buttons with the button machine the school owned. At the last moment it was discovered that the button machine was broken so we had two days before Homecoming, which wasn’t a problem because everyone wanted a button. Homecoming was a success!! Later in the semester four senior high students and four junior high students went to a seminar in Red Wing. Over two hundred student council members attend- ed this seminar. Rex Gisler, the speaker, was humorous, serious, and inspiring. He lectured about the responsibility of setting a good example, the responsibility of mak- ing all students feel like they belong, and the pooling of ideas for both activities and fundraisers from other area schools. Everyone from Preston-Fountain High School that went had an enjoyable day. Brad Johnson said. “It was a great ex- perience. I gained a lot of new knowledge from the entertaining speaker and from other students my own age.” STUDENT COUNCIL (Above): Front Rot. — David Larson. Jeremy Aug, Chris Mcnsink. and Missy Erickson.

Friday was the big day and the students were dressed in their skuz iesl! After second hour, classes were dismissed to go to the all-vhool homecoming pepfest. All classes then reported to class meetings Then began decorating the floats. Float themes ranged from “Blucjay Vice to Gone with the Cards. The school day was topped off with the afternoon parade around the town square. Friday night the stands were filled with fans who were there to cheer the Jays on. They were met by stiff competition, the Leroy-Ostrander Cards, who were rated third in state. The Jays had their hopes dashed by a final score of 30-0. Even so. the boys managed to enjoy the dance that followed Music was furnished by the ‘the Visitors. lop: Junior Lance Armstrong takes a break after working hard on the class float.

Homecoming 21 To Be or Not to Be To be or not to be ... Is that the ques- tion the ten candidates asked themselves on that 1986 coronation night? Probably not. But nonetheless on Monday October 10, 1986 at 8:00 p.m., the ever dreaded spotlight was placed on the nervous trumpeters. After they played the tradi- tional fanfare and the band marched in, the candidates were introduced to the awaiting crowd by Shannon Speer the Master of Ceremonies. 10 anxious can- didates processed majestically across the length of the gym. The Junior attendants were Ben Joerg and Angie Ostrom and the 1st grade attendants were Eli Erdman and Angie Rain. As the big moment arrived the band played the school song and former king and queen candidates, Paul Duxbury and Kelly Pricbe. crowned the new king and queen ... Chad McKenzie and Darla Milne! After the crowning the band and cheerleaders went out to the bonfire built by the sophomores. The ceremony this year was shorter than in previous years, but that didn’t dampen the spirit of the students. Above Right: 1986 Queen Darla Milne with King Chad Mckenzie after coronation.

The boys finished fifth in con- ference action and the girls took a fourth place stand in the conference. The members to advance to Regional action were Angie Vorwerk and Carol Clement. It seemed that sharing the track program with Wykoff seems to be very productive. Mr. Denny led his gold team to a very successful season with 6 wins 2 losses and 1 tie. Preston-Fountain placed fourth in District competition. Todd Bestor went on to be a Regional qualifier. Below: Frank Bartsch makes a winning play at home plate.

The team enjoyed sharing the program with Wykoff once again, as their added talent was appreciated. The girls’ softball program was shared with Harmony. The girls had a winning season. Their record was seven wins to only six losses. They advanced to district one finals but were defeated by LaCresent 4-6. Mrs. Scheevel thought the team did extremely well.

Slowly, but surely, the Jays made im- provements in many areas. As far as the record books show, the team did not have a banner year, but in the sense of determina- tion and Bluejay spirit, they had a superb season. Perhaps one of the factors that hindered the Jays' record was the fact that three of the opponents that they played, Houston, Grand Meadow, and Leroy- Ostrander, were ranked in the top ten teams of class “C’ football. As far as statistics go, Frank Bartsch led in rushing with 649 yards on 148 carries for an average of 4.4 yards per carry. Chad McKen- zie was a distant second with 193 yards on 53 carries, thus averaging 3.6 yards per carry. Frank Bartsch completed 39% of his passes, while Mark Amundson completed 19%. Heath Mcnsink was on the receiving end of 4 of those passes, picking up 69 yards. In the area of defense, chad McKenzie led the team in tackling, racking up 34 singles and 56 assists. Second leading tackier was Mitch Mulvihill, who came up 21 singles and 72 assists. Mitch also had an intercep- tion in the last game of the year against Harmony. The 1986 season marked Mr. Frank Jaszcwski's 30th year as varsity coach. The B-squad was coached by Don Rustad. The Blucjays overall record Tor the year was 2-6, the victories coming against Mabel-Canton and long time rival Harmony. lop I ft: Mike Schinbursky shows his form for punting.

Coach Toraason found a way to make a winning team. With that, the jays decided to reload and they came out surprising many unsespccting teams. The Bluejays were a fairly short team, the average heights was 5'6 , but the girls proved to be quick and determined. What the Jays lacked for this team. Coach Toraason quoted. “The two things I ap- preciated most was the fact that the team never gave up and that the girls learned from their mistakes.” The girls finished third in the conference and were seeded fifth going into tournament action. While in tournaments, the girls played Rushford, winning in five matches. They then advanced into the quarter-finals and semi-finals, where they lost a tough five matches to Lcroy-Ostrandcr. The girls overall record was 11 wins, 7 losses. The B-squad was coached by Cindy Schccvcl and they had a record of 7 wins, 7 losses. The C- squad was caochcd by Sally Hovcy and they had a record of 5 wins, 6 wins, 6 losses. VARSITY VOLLEYBALL TEAM (Above): Front Row — Tisha Hdlickson, Angie Vorwerk. Betty Jo Bcstor. Wcndi Freese.

The team did not have a great deal of height, and many opponents did. Most of the starting players turned out to be sophomores and juniors, which meant little varsity experience. The schedule proved to be a grueling one. Yet through it all, the squad gave its all to proving itself. The scorcbox may show only 3 victories over the course of the season, but some of the losses were by close margins. All those who watched the team progress over the season would agree that the team was better than their record would show. A SQUAD BASKETBALL (Below): Front Row — Chad McKenzie.

Boys' Basketball 37 Girls Spark Winning Season The girls’ basketball program welcomed Lanesboro to their team. Lanesboro hasn’t had a girls’ basketball program in over 4 years, so many of the girls were inexperienced. The varsity basketball team had an excellent season. They ended up tied for second in the conference with Har- mony, each with 5 wins and 3 tied losses. Their overall record going into District tournament play was 11-8. The Jays got seated third in tournament ac- tion and had a bye for the first round. The second round game was played against the winner of the LaCrescent and Houston game. The Jays had a very successful season and show much potential. VARSITY BASKETBALL (Above Right): Front Row — Shelley Roderick, Angie Vorwerk, Shan- non Speer, Bridget Gartner.

Deanna Larson who has been the coach for the past few years announced that this was her last year as she plans to go back to school. The 7th grade team went undefeated. They came out first at the Grand Meadow tournament, and their overall record was 12-0. This is quite an ac- complishment for such a young team.

Kij� ht: Jill Huffman receives an award for an essay she wrote about soil conservation. Features One of the special features of the 1986-87 school year was FOYT day. The Focus on Youth Team set aside the entire day, November 17, 1986, to fur- ther student knowledge on such issues as drunken driving, suicide, alcohol dependency, dating control, and teenage pregnancy. Many speakers on these sub- jects were avilable for the students in- cluding a panel of “ex-Preston Grads” speaking about their high school ex- periences. Mark Scharenbroich was the day’s grand finale. He had no trouble keeping his audience’s attention during his inspiring speech on self-esteem. To finish the day off in style, he asked the crowd to join him in singing his “top 10” hit — “Boomba Hey.” Top Left: Carl Ford poses for the yearbook photographer after his week at the State Capitol as a page.

They decided on a class trip to New York City and Washington D.C. They also were the first seniors to enjoy an open noon hour. They handled their new privileges very well so the ad- ministration had no regrets. One of the dreaded activities of the senior year was doing a term paper. None of them seemed to have any trou- ble in doing so however. Another of the “dirty jobs’’ the seniors had to do was raise funds for the class trip. Some of the ways used to earn their money were selling Tom Watt products, the annual magazine drive, a spaghetti dinner, raf- fle, concessions at the volleyball and boy’s basketball games, a Valentine’s dance featuring “TANG,” and the Senior Class Play “Happy Days.” Despite their busy schedule with all these fund raisers, most seniors found time to participate in one or more extra-curricular activities. The most popular extra-curricular ac- tivities were of course sports, but the seniors were also very involved in the Fall Play, One Act Play (which won districts this year). Spring Play, Radio Show, Band, and Choir. They put their full effort into everything they were in- volved in to make this their best year of high school.

C olor Pages Changing Students Remain Predictable Some change is easy to guess. Each year Preston-Fountain welcomes new students to the student body with the new' school year. Before long, no one really remembers that they were new students at all. With only three minutes between classes, the change from one room to another is a busy and chaotic time. Suc- cess meets it seven times a day however. The change of seasons is inevitable, but it provides variety to the year, and marks the passage of the school year.

Whether it was reviewing their Government test questions on the computer, or testing the latest theory in Physics, they were truly an active and colorful group. Whatever they might have lacked in numbers (with only 28 members) the made up for in spirit and energy. Their presence was easily noted by all who entered the halls of PFHS. Their lockers were the colorful ones filled with the latest gossip and pinups.

One of the worries back in everyone's mind was how to pay for the prom. To raise the funds needed they sold football and girls' basketball concessions. On February 2, 1987 the juniors sold T- shirts and sunglasses. They also held many other profitable activities. But money raisers weren't the only thing keeping them busy. Classes like Chemistry and World History kept them on their toes. But somehow the juniors still managed to find time to relax or hold down jobs.

They moved up a hall and joined the juniors and seniors in the senior high hall. They finally got their driver’s license. They got to try their hands at typing. They read “Lord of the Flies” in English class and they jumped from freshmen science to Biology which meant dissecting grasshoppers and pigs. The sophomore class is the second largest class in the school and they stand strong.

Student Candids 57 “Fresh” Ideas Striving to show their uniqueness as the largest class in the school, the freshmen let everyone know they were around. They managed to win the Homecoming float building, despite massive disorganization and lack of materials on float building day. They found themselves swamped with more school work than they remembered from 7th and 8th grade, but despite the odds, they beat them and survived a busy year. They were active both in and out of school, in sports, in school, and in life.

Now they could stack other kids lockers and borrow pens from the new seventh graders lockers. New to the eighth graders this year was a Current Events Panel, as well as geography panels each quarter as required by Mr. Hokenson. In Mrs. Markegard's Earth Science Class they each had their own workbook to keep track of. They even learned how to set up an assembly line in Industrial Arts class.

With cool heads, they entered the big ’’high school” and proceeded to get lost, asking “what room?” and “where?” New activities for them in- cluded after school sports, homework, writing essays in reading, and getting used to the microscopes in biology. Although it’s a little tougher, most agree that it’s much more fun than the elementary school and they are ready to stay a while. 7th GRADE OFFICERS (Below): Jennifer Ruud, Tiffany Hahn, Jill Huffman, and David Larson. 7th Grade 63 Teachers Make a Difference The teachers had some extra planning to do since we had a longer school year than usual. Mr. Hokenson came back from his unrequested leave of absence as Mr. Roderick resigned to take a position in Texas. The math department received new text books and also added a new class to offer the seniors. College Preperatory Mathematics would prepare students for math in college. Ms. Kellis, counselor, took on the role of Principal and Administrative Aide. Some teachers were still on partial unrequested leave of absence. The counselor’s office was moved into the office and bookeeping was moved into the old counselor’s office. Ted Aarrestad: B.S.. University of Minnesota; Jr. and Sr. High Band. Pep Band.

Throughout the year at PFHS Co- Editor Darla Milne and myself have seen many changes. One thing that never changes are the students. Now we know that every person is an idividual but all students are alike in one way. We all have bad days on Mondays and Fridays are generally fine for everyone. Everything is good before the day starts and when the day ends. Students can change and grow by joining extra-curricular ac- tivities. This year a writing team for the Preston Republican was added. The team featured a different senior each week. Also they told about some other interesting things that were happening around the school. Below: The Pep Band liven up the game while Mr. Aarrcstad directs them. Upper Right: The seventh grade math class shows their en- thusiasum for the camera. Right: Missy Bent- son and Lynn Dahly study for an uncoming test. Guess How Our Year Went??? Closing 77 78 Closing Guess Whose Faces?? During the years Preston has seen many new faces. The students that have been through this school are special. They have had the advantages of living in a small town and knowing almost everyone that lives here and goes to school here. Although over the years the number of students has declined at Preston there are still many interesting faces. We have also seen some money shortage in school and have had to cut back on some things, but the spirit at PFHS is still as high as ever. Below: Even if Betty Jo Bestor and Bridget Gart- ner can ignore the camera, Jon Ruud has to be the center of attention. Upper Right: German Students Carl Pickett, Lynn Dahley, Kristin Slat- turn, Missy Bentson, and Shannon Speer show a variety of expressions while Eric Ostrom tries to get Mrs. Hokenson’s attention to ask a question. Right: Wendi Freese and Frank Bartsch can be good friends, even in the gym. Complete Index Aarrcstad, Ted 7,64, 76 Accountants. Brync 71 Ads 68,69.70,71,72,73,74 Aldcn. Don 47, 48A Amundson.
